How sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide is form?
They could be formed by the oxidation / combustion of sulfur and nitrogen respectively
What is sulfur Oxides?
Sulfur oxides are the oxides of sulfur with oxygen in -2 oxidation state. There are two main oxides of sulfur. They are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3).
What is the oxidation state of s in HSO4 2-?
In HSO4- sulfur's oxidation state is +5.
What is the oxidation state of S in SO32?
The sulfate ion is SO42 -. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +6 (work it out!); therefore, the ion is more properly named the sulfate(VI) ion. The sulfite ion is SO32-. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +4.
What is the oxidation state for sulfur?
elemental sulfur is not oxidised. It has to be in some sort of compound. For example, in H2S, the sulfur has an oxidation state of -2. Each hydrogen has a +1, so if they are removed, it decreases the overall charge. Remove two, and the charge is decreased by 2, making it -2.
What is the oxidation number for sulfur only?
There are s8 sulfur molecules. It shows 0 oxidation number.
What is the oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in BaSo4?
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in BaSo4 is +6.
What is the oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in MgSO4?
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in MgSO4 is +6.
What is the oxidation number of S in S2O8?
This is the thiosulfate ion. Sulfur shows +6 oxidation number.
When sulfur reacts with air to give sulfur dioxide what is it called?
"oxidation"
What is the oxidation number of sulfur in aluminium sulfate?
+6 for sulfur in sulfates
What is the oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in SO32 and minus?
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in (SO3)2- is 4.
What is the oxidation state of sulfur in SO2 if oxygen is in the -2?
Since the total molecule must have zero net oxidation state and there are two oxygen atoms but only one sulfur atom, the sulfur must have oxidation state +4.
What is the oxidation number of sulphur?
Atomic sulfur has oxidation number 0. The oxidation number of the sulfide ion is -2. During formation of a wide variety of compounds, the oxidation status of sulfur may differ from -2 to +6.
What is the oxidation number of sulfur in hydrogensulfate?
-2
What is the oxidation number of sulfur in SO32?
+4
What is the oxidation number of sulfur in Li2SO4?
+6
